World Lung Cancer Day is a time to raise awareness about the world’s deadliest cancer and the importance of early detection. Patients with chronic illnesses, including kidney disease, may already have reduced lung function due to fluid buildup or overlapping conditions. And while smoking is the leading cause, even nonsmokers can develop #lungcancer due to other risk factors like air pollution or genetic conditions. That makes it even more important to watch for symptoms like a persistent cough, shortness of breath, or unexplained fatigue. If something feels off, don’t wait. Talk to your care team.
